I would heavily recommend it because this course has made it easier for me to analyze texts and questions, which is something that you do in almost every class and grade. It's like a bonus for taking the class!

Course highlights:

Some of the best parts of the course was the actual literature. Being able to read great works from people like Mary Shelley or George Orwell was very eye opening and actually enjoyable. There are many great authors people are missing out on because there works are older, but in this course you get to read them all!

Hours per week:

6-8 hours

Advice for students:

Study your literary devices! I can not press that enough. If you don't know your literary devices it will make your life so much harder. But once you do writing an essay will be a breeze for you even if you are analyzing meta-physical poetry!
